6 month checkup! Had more treatment on Tuesday. Was poked and prodded with and while he found one tooth was still iffy and shored that up, the dentist did say the whole situation was looking a whole lot better than when he last saw me Laying off the sugary drinks is going to be a right pain, but if it helps my oral health then I'll have to bite the bullet When he did an x-ray though, I think I fought with the protective plate, and I've injured ...
heyas all! Been a few days since I blogged last. I'm sure you'll all be thrilled to hear that my long-running dance with dentistry is now finished. At least, the hugely expensive mouth rebuilding part is done. Now, I'm about £680 lighter in pocket but with a better set of gnashers than I've had in donkey's years. Last extraction is now a faintly bleeding memory, and I'm almost over the trauma. I've lost two teeth in all (pulled out) and had four fillings, ...
Yes, it's hina at the dentist time again. Except I went yesterday "All right mate (Aussie dentist. Least he didn't say "cobber"), we're going to do today's work without anaesthetic..." - Best or worst phrase I've heard from a dental practitioner so far. On the one hand, it means it's painless, just a check and fix of previous work that doesn't require any invasions of nerves and no below-gum work. On the other hand... All dentists are sadists, right? Otherwise ...
more teeth work for me just now. I'm sitting here at my house rocking back and forth waiting for the pain to go away as the anaesthetic wears off. It's a tingly, "don't-know-what-to-do-with-myself" pain >< I really wish they'd not done anything now... I was having a bit of trouble with a filling and cap the dentist had done last time, but my next appointment wasn't until August. I popped in on the off-chance that he could have a poke about and tell me if there ...
Having not been to the dentist for, ooh years, my teeth had got in a bad way. I couldn't easily chew my food and the things were becoming a constant nagging pain, if not a persistent stabbing pain. I couldn't smile properly either. One of the teeth I'd show (upper left incisor) was so badly gone I was ashamed to show my teeth to anyone, even family. I don't much like having my picture taken anyway, but I purposely shied away from cameras for many years because I'd let my teeth ...
